Report: Kings sign Vince Carter to a one-year, $8 million deal

The Sacramento Kings continue to bolster their roster with veterans that can groom their young players as the team has signed free agent Vince Carter to a one-year, $8 million deal, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Kings had a meeting with the 40-year-old Carter on Tuesday and it looks like the 8-time All-Star liked what he heard.

Carter has spent the last three season in Memphis as a key offensive weapon off of the Grizzlies bench. The forward finished last season averaging 8.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 24.6 minutes per game.

This now makes three solid veteran signings by the Kings this offseason. With George Hill, Zach Randolph, Garrett Temple and Carter all on the roster, the team will now have role models to help groom the franchise’s potential future.
